Title: GPS precision
Post by: Dave Pitman on January 07, 2022, 03:21:32 PM
Hello,

In exiftool, the precision of lat/long and elevations seem to be truncated compared to when I drop the image in other applications.  Is there a setting to show the complete value?

Thank you!

See the -c (-coordFormat) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#c-FMT--coordFormat).  By default, exiftool will display only two decimal places after the seconds, but will copy with more precision.  The -c option will allow you to format it any way you would like.  The -n (--printConv) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#n---printConv) will display the full decimal values.  FAQ #14 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q14) has more info on how exiftool deals with GPS coordinates.
